It's Obama

The Associated Press calls it:

Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates, becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.

Hillary Clinton for VP? I doubt she'd accept it, though the possibility of her being a heartbeat away from the Presidency would undoubtedly get some conspiracy-minded Clinton-haters' minds spinning. I figure she will do the bare minimum necessary to support Obama's Presidential campaign, while quietly preparing a 2012 run.

Will the Democrats stay hopelessly divided? Don't get your hopes up, Republicans. Not long ago, many of you were saying you wouldn't support John McCain under any circumstances.

Update: "Clinton says she's open to being Obama's VP." Great call, Daim.
